Surgical Fittings a Specialty Medr..nt Jlytd THE BRITISH CRISIS THE fall of tho Astjnith ministry is due to ublic dis content over the conduct f the war and the desire of a more vigorous war policy. The diplomatic bungles in the east, the evident lack of co-operation among the en tente allies, as shown by the compicst of Serbia and Ru mania and the failure of the Saloniki campaign as well as the Dardanelles fiasco, has created Ihe impression that the bunglesonie coalition ministry has failed to rise to the 00 easion. The English Tories have taken advantage of this dis content to force the resignation of the premier by joining 1 orecs with Lloyd-dcorgc and the "ginger" party, evi dently seeking by the collapse of the Liberals a return to power. J ii securing place m the ministry, they have it in their power to force a crisis whenever desired, and will probably later force out Lloyd-(ieorge. ' Jt is a fact that as the war lias proceeded, the government has become more autocratic, more reactionary and less democratic, reflect ing the Torv influence. This is a natural sequence of war, which for success de mands centralization. iSntaiu is imitating Prussian jugger methods, evidently in the hope of attaining German efficiency, though France, by democratic methods, has attained eoual. perhaps superior, efficiency; Lloyd-Gcorgchas proved himself the most capable or ganizer, the most far-seeing, aggressive and ablest execu tive of Mi'itish statct-nicn. He has an opportunity seldom offered to serve his country, and if, as seems likely, he proves the man of the hour, his elevation will be the turn ing point iu the war. Following her ancient traditions, it has taken Great Britain a year to awaken, a year to prepare, and the next year should be oik of advance. She has created a wonder ful armv, thou;.!! until the Soniine advance began, an armv without ti . or fighting experience, which has since been acquired. Her hick litis been a leader of com manding ability and it is the general belief that in Lloyd-George she has remedied the deficiency.

WILL BRING FACTORY (Continued From Page One). beet prosperity binges on tho crea tion of the Irrigation district, Mr. Pettingill explained that In such a climate as ours, beets only In rare Instances will yield heavily without Irrigation. The beet Itself is fio per cent water. Water forces tho leaves to maUo rank growth. It is tho ac tion of the sun upon a largo leaf sur fueo that puts the naccarrine in the beets. In Idaho, Colorado and Utah, the western beet centers, they tried beet raising without water and failed. Today In those districts the use of irrigation is universal. Instances of beets grown In this vi cinity with and without water were METRO'S o,c5oo production or 1$ FRANCIS IBUSHMANi andBE VlkLY nAYNE is the screenplay or the year hveYouSeenIt?lh Ask year theatre w m about it. JjJ) cited by Mr. Pettingill from the records of tho I'tuh-Idaho Sugar Co., field books. Instunccis Prove Oise Ceorge Morris of Talent raised, without water, 29 acres of beets, har vesting a little less than 100 tons of beets or less than 3 tons to the acre. With water ho would have gotten at least 10 or 15 tons. That ho could have done this Is easily proven by a glance at the record of John Miller, ulto of Talent, who with water, raised 29 tons to the acre. William Bruin of Talent raised on two acre of ground, 42 tons of heets. These two were the only men In the Talent dis trict who had sufficient water to ma ture their beets. John Brenner at Central Point planted 9 acres to beets. These 9 teres showed uniform growth up to the time of irrigation. Eight acre were irrigated and produced 1G tons to the acre. One acre, or exactly the same soil, was not Irrigated and raised 5 tons. Double Averajre Yield. Mr. Pettingill state dthat he ex amined closely the tracts planted to beets lying around Med ford and Is convinced that the application of irri gation will double the average yield. The average yield this year was 8 1-3 tons. The Perry tract lying west of Med ford was one of the best of the non-Irrigated tracts, yet It produced only 9 tons to the acre. Iu other words, the best non-irrigated pro duced only ran two-thirds of a ton over the average. Much of the non irrigated averaged only four tons, while the Irrigated land raised the average to 8 1-3 tons. "The peole," said Mr. Pettin gill, "will . come to the. reali zation of tho Impossibility, the futil ity of doing without irrigation and that soon. They win do the right thing in regard to the district plan. Prospects for prosperity in this val ley, I consider, are especially bright." JOHN A. PERL UNDERTAKER Tandy Assistant 88 8.

Then think of the vacuum cleaner which gathers up the smallest particles of dust aud does it in a few moments. Or the electric cook stove, which eliminates the heat of the kitchen and makes cooking as much a pleasure as playing golf. Or the electric toaster and grill, the, electric, percolator, or the electric heater, which warms chilly bathrooms in a jiffy, or the electric sewing machine, which saves back aches and footaches.
